Cunning Stunts: Vinyl LP

For those who think prog is a bad word, Caravan is a hidden gem. They crafted some of the sweetest and most tuneful melodies in 70s rock. Tracks like the jazz - inflected vaudeville in 'If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You', the gentle 'Virgin On The Ridiculous' from Caravan & The New Symphonia, and the funky 'The Dabsong Conshirtoe' on 'Cunning Stunts' are pure musical treats. Formed from The Wilde Flowers like Soft Machine, Caravan shares traits with UK 70s prog, including punning titles and long songs. But their guitarist and lead vocalist Julian 'Pye' Hastings' smooth singing style makes their music highly accessible. Recorded at Tollington Park Studios in North London, 'Cunning Stunts' was Caravan's last Decca studio album. With a lineup change, it features some of their most mature and fluid music, especially the 18 - minute 'The Dabsong Conshirtoe'. The album's opener 'The Show Of Our Lives' sets a great tone. This re - issue exactly replicates the 1975 Decca Records UK release, pressed on high - quality 180g vinyl. Tracklist: 1. The Show Of Our Lives 2. Stuck In A Hole 3. Lover 4. No Backstage Pass 5. Welcome The Day 6. The Dabsong Conshirtoe 7. The Fear And Loathing In Tollington Park Rag
